The final act of Return of the Ripper is a kind of #heroquest across a #mythical desert #demiplane to reach the Tomb of the Sea Queen.
I am drawing on #Zoroastrian and #Persian #myths to populate the demiplane. I was delighted to find this amazing and useful site "1001 Mythical Creatures of #Iranian Cultures and Beyond". Worth taking a look just for the beautiful #illustrations.

A newly recovered Sogdian mural from Tajikistan shows priests approaching a sacred fire — the first of its kind outside funerary contexts — revealing how Zoroastrian fire worship shaped Silk Road elites. #Archaeology #SilkRoad #Sogdians #Zoroastrian https://www.anthropology.net/p/flames-on-the-palace-wall-a-lost

In the remote Isalo Massif in southern Madagascar, at a site called Teniky, researchers have uncovered a unique rock-cut architectural complex with no known parallels on the island or the nearby East African coast. This discovery has prompted speculation about possible links to ancient Zoroastrian communities and long-distance migration and trade networks.

☫ Many words we use today have roots in #Persian. Here's a list of Persian-origin words that have woven their way into #English
Starting with Magic - Derived from #OldPersian 'maguš'. The mystical and religious connotations of this word are linked to Iranian #Zoroastrian priests
Pistachio - From #Persian 'pistah', a type of nut. Nut names often have ancient roots. #Iran is also currently the second largest pistachio ... ⤵

"...in the past century, the faith has traveled far from its origins—to places like Los Angeles, Mexico City, and Stockholm—and inspired new, progressive communities where anyone who follows the tenets of the ancient prophet #Zarathushtra can be considered a #Zoroastrian." #Zoroastrianism #Religion #Philosophy https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/article/zoroastrianism-ancient-religion-followers

@thecrushedviolet "Yogurt & Whey: Recipes of an Iranian Immigrant Life" by Homa Dashtaki is a cookbook rather than an autobiography, but the author shares some of her experiences in her birth country, being an immigrant to the US, and being a yogurt entrepreneur. You might find it interesting. Also, there's a really great spinach boorani recipe in it that I've added to my regular rotation.

In pre-#Zoroastrian times, the people of what is now Iran used a calendar of 360 days divided into 30 months; the #ṚgVeda mentions a calendar with the same strucutre used in the Indus Valley, but doesn't provide any solid details, and the description might just be poetic.

Well it’s Friday again and my clubbing years are far behind me. Tonight I am sharing a song that I suspect, unless one actually knows, is difficult to date. This is timeless #camp: dance meets #religion. One of the band-members is #Jewish, another #Zoroastrian, and the the third sings #Gospel like an angel. I am really rather surprised at how well this did in “Christian” USA. I play this regularly for, as a #pwME, I feel crucified on my malady…

Just read A Short Stay in Hell. Good, quick existential read. Makes me wonder why people want to live forever.
